FIELD
FIELD
[03] The present disclosure relates to, among other things, altered polymerases for use in performing a nucleotide incorporation reaction, particularly in the context of nucleic acid sequencing by synthesis.
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
[04] Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology relies on DNA polymerases as a critical component of the sequencing process. Reduction of the time for sequencing a template while maintaining high fidelity is desirable. Reducing each cycle of a sequencing by synthesis (SBS) process is a useful step to achieving a shorter sequencing run time. One approach to reduce cycle time is to reduce the time of the incorporation step. However, while reductions in incorporation time could offer significant improvement to the overall run time, they typically do so at the expense of fidelity. For instance, phasing rates, pre-phasing rates, and/or bypass rates increase, and as a consequence error rate is increased. At low error rates, during a sequencing run most template molecules in a cluster terminate in the same labeled nucleotide and the signal is clear. In contrast, at reduced fidelity, during a sequencing run an increasing number of template molecule in a cluster terminate in the incorrect labeled nucleotide and the signal can become too noisy to accurately determine which nucleotide was incorporated.

[030] Maintaining or surpassing current levels of performance at faster incorporation times can be aided by a new generation of polymerases. Presented herein are polymerase enzymes having significantly improved performance under sequencing by synthesis (SBS) fast cycle time conditions. The inventors have surprisingly identified certain altered polymerases which exhibit improved characteristics including improved accuracy during short incorporations times. Improved accuracy includes reduced error rate and reduced phasing. The altered polymerases have a number of other associated advantages, including reduced prephasing, reduced bypass rate, and improved quality metrics in SBS reactions. This improvement is maintained even when a polymerase is used at lower concentrations.
Accordingly, in one embodiment, the concentration of a DNA polymerase in an SBS reaction can be from 120 ng/ 1 to 80 ng/ 1. In one embodiment, the concentration of a DNA
polymerase in a SBS reaction can be no greater than 120 ng/ 1, no greater than ng/ 1, no greater than 100 ng/ 1, or no greater than 90 ng/ 1. In one embodiment, the concentration of a DNA polymerase in an SBS reaction can be at least 80 ng/ 1, at least 90 ng/ 1, at least 100 ng/ 1, or at least 110 ng/ 1.

[031] Error rate refers to a measurement of the frequency of error in the identification of the correct base, i.e., the complement of the template sequence at a specific position, during a sequencing reaction. The fidelity with which a sequenced library matches the original genome sequence can vary depending on the frequency of base mutation occurring at any stage from the extraction of the nucleic acid to its sequencing on a sequencing platform. This frequency places an upper limit on the probability of a sequenced base being correct. In some embodiments, the quality score is presented as a numerical value. For example, the quality score can be quoted as QXX
where the XX is the score and it means that that particular call has a probability of error of 10-07m. Thus, as an example, Q30 equates to an error rate of 1 in 1000, or 0.1%, and Q40 equates to an error rate of 1 in 10,000, or 0.01%.

[032] Phasing and pre-phasing are terms known to those of skill in the art and are used to describe the loss of synchrony in the readout of the sequence copies of a cluster.
Phasing and pre-phasing cause the extracted intensities for a specific cycle to include the signal of the current cycle and noise from the preceding and following cycles. Thus, as used herein, the term "phasing" refers to a phenomenon in SBS
that is caused by incomplete incorporation of a nucleotide in some portion of DNA
strands within clusters by polymerases at a given sequencing cycle, and is thus a measure of the rate at which single molecules within a cluster lose sync with each other. Phasing can be measured during detection of cluster signal at each cycle and can be reported as a percentage of detectable signal from a cluster that is out of synchrony with the signal in the cluster. As an example, a cluster is detected by a "green" fluorophore signal during cycle N. In the subsequent cycle (cycle N+1), 99.9% of the cluster signal is detected in the "red" channel and 0.1% of the signal remains from the previous cycle and is detected in the "green" channel. This result would indicate that phasing is occurring, and can be reported as a numerical value, such as a phasing value of 0.1, indicating that 0.1% of the molecules in the cluster are falling behind at each cycle.

[033] The term "pre-phasing" as used herein refers to a phenomenon in SBS that is caused by the incorporation of nucleotides without effective 3' terminators, causing the incorporation event to go one cycle ahead. As the number of cycles increases, the fraction of sequences per cluster affected by phasing increases, hampering the identification of the correct base. Pre-phasing can be detected by a sequencing instrument and reported as a numerical value, such as a pre-phasing value of 0.1, indicating that 0.1% of the molecules in the cluster are running ahead at each cycle.
[034] Detection of phasing and pre-phasing can be performed and reported according to any suitable methodology as is known in the art, for example, as described in U.S.
Patent No. 8,965,076. For example, as described in the Examples below, phasing is detected and reported routinely during SBS sequencing runs on sequencing instrument such as HiSeqTM, Genome AnalyzerTM, NextSeqTM, NovaSeqTM, iSeqTM, MiniSeqTM, or MiSeqTM sequencing platforms from Illumina, Inc. (San Diego, CA) or any other suitable instrument known in the art.

[035] Reduced cycle times can increase the occurrence of phasing, pre-phasing, and/or bypass rate, each of which contributes to error rate. The discovery of altered polymerases which decrease the incidence of phasing, pre-phasing, and/or bypass rate, even when used in fast cycle time conditions, is surprising and provides a great advantage in SBS applications. For example, the altered polymerases can provide faster SBS cycle time, lower phasing and pre-phasing values, and/or longer sequencing read length. The characterization of error rate and phasing for altered polymerases as provided herein is set forth in the Example section below.

An altered polymerase includes substitution mutations at one or more residues when compared to the reference polymerase. A substitution mutation can be at the same position or a functionally equivalent position compared to the reference polymerase. Reference polymerases and functionally equivalent positions are described in detail herein. The skilled person will readily appreciate that an altered polymerase described herein is not naturally occurring.

benchtop sequencing system. Slow incorporation times include from 40 seconds to 50 seconds. As used herein, a fast cycle time refers to an incorporation step that is from 10 seconds to 40 seconds. In one embodiment, a fast cycle time is an incorporation time of no greater than 40 seconds, no greater than 30 seconds, no greater than 20 seconds, no greater than 18 seconds, no greater than 16 seconds, no greater than 14 seconds, or no greater than 12 seconds.

[038] An altered polymerase described herein can be used in SBS reactions for runs of different lengths. A "run" refers to the number of nucleotides that are identified on a template. A run typically includes a run based on the first primer (e.g., a readl primer) which reads one strand of a template and a run based on the second primer (e.g., a read2 primer) which reads the complementary strand of the template.
In one embodiment, the number of nucleotides identified using the first primer or the second primer can be from 10 to 150 nucleotides. In one embodiment, the number of nucleotides identified using the first primer or the second primer can be no greater than 150 nucleotides, no greater than 130 nucleotides, no greater than nucleotides, no greater than 90 nucleotides, no greater than 70 nucleotides, no greater than 50 nucleotides, no greater than 30 nucleotides, or no greater than 20 nucleotides.

[043] In certain embodiments, a family B archaeal DNA polymerase is from a phage such as, for example, T4, RB69, or phi29 phage.
[044] FIG. 1 shows a sequence alignment for proteins having the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs:1-7. The alignment indicates amino acids that are conserved in the different family B polymerases. The skilled person will appreciate that the conserved amino acids and conserved regions are most likely conserved because they are important to the function of the polymerases, and therefore show a correlation between structure and function of the polymerases. The alignment also shows regions of variability across the different family B polymerases. A
person of ordinary skill in the art can deduce from such data regions of a polymerase in which substitutions, particularly conservative substitutions, may be permitted without unduly affecting biological activity of the altered polymerase.

[045] An altered polymerase described herein is based on the amino acid sequence of a known polymerase (also referred to herein as a reference polymerase) and further includes substitution mutations at one or more residues. In one embodiment, a substitution mutation is at a position functionally equivalent to an amino acid of a reference polymerase. By "functionally equivalent" it is meant that the altered polymerase has the amino acid substitution at the amino acid position in the reference polymerase that has the same functional role in both the reference polymerase and the altered polymerase.
[046] In general, functionally equivalent substitution mutations in two or more different polymerases occur at homologous amino acid positions in the amino acid sequences of the polymerases. Hence, use herein of the term "functionally equivalent"
also encompasses mutations that are "positionally equivalent" or "homologous" to a given mutation, regardless of whether or not the particular function of the mutated amino acid is known. It is possible to identify the locations of functionally equivalent and positionally equivalent amino acid residues in the amino acid sequences of two or more different polymerases on the basis of sequence alignment and/or molecular modelling. An example of sequence alignment to identify positionally equivalent and/or functionally equivalent residues is set forth in FIG. 1.
For example, the residues in the Twa, KOD, Pab, Pfu, Deep Vent, and Vent polymerases of FIG. 1 that are vertically aligned are considered positionally equivalent as well as functionally equivalent to the corresponding residue in the 9 N
polymerase amino acid sequence. Thus, for example residue 349 of the 9 N, Twa, KOD, Pfu, Deep Vent, and Pab polymerases and residue 351 of the Vent polymerase are functionally equivalent and positionally equivalent. Likewise, for example residue 633 of the 9 N, Twa, KOD, and Pab polymerases, residue 634 of the Pfu and Deep Vent polymerases, and residue 636 of the Vent polymerase are functionally equivalent and positionally equivalent. The skilled person can easily identify functionally equivalent residues in DNA polymerases.

[047] In certain embodiments, the substitution mutation comprises a mutation to a residue having a non-polar side chain. Amino acids having non-polar side chains are well-known in the art and include, for example: alanine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, tryptophan, and valine.
[048] In certain embodiments, the substitution mutation comprises a mutation to a residue having a polar side chain. Amino acids having polar side chains are well-known in the art and include, for example: arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine, glutamic acid, histidine, lysine, serine, cysteine, tyrosine, and threonine.
[049] In certain embodiments, the substitution mutation comprises a mutation to a residue having a hydrophobic side chain. Amino acids having hydrophobic side chains are well-known in the art and include, for example: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan.
[050] In certain embodiments, the substitution mutation comprises a mutation to a residue having an uncharged side chain. Amino acids having uncharged side chains are well-known in the art and include, for example: glycine, serine, cysteine, asparagine, glutamine, tyrosine, and threonine, among others.
[051] In one embodiment, an altered polymerase has an amino acid sequence that is structurally similar to a reference polymerase disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a reference polymerase is one that includes the amino acid sequence of 9 N
(SEQ
ID NO:1). Optionally, the reference polymerase is SEQ ID NO:1 with the following substitution mutations: Met129Ala, Asp141Ala, Glu143Ala, Cys223Ser, Leu408Ala, Tyr409Ala, Pro410Ile, and Ala485Val.

[052] As used herein, an altered polymerase may be "structurally similar" to a reference polymerase if the amino acid sequence of the altered polymerase possesses a specified amount of sequence similarity and/or sequence identity compared to the reference polymerase.
[053] Structural similarity of two amino acid sequences can be determined by aligning the residues of the two sequences (for example, a candidate polymerase and a reference polymerase described herein) to optimize the number of identical amino acids along the lengths of their sequences; gaps in either or both sequences are permitted in making the alignment in order to optimize the number of identical amino acids, although the amino acids in each sequence must nonetheless remain in their proper order. A candidate polymerase is the polymerase being compared to the reference polymerase. A candidate polymerase that has structural similarity with a reference polymerase and polymerase activity is an altered polymerase.
[054] Unless modified as otherwise described herein, a pair-wise comparison analysis of amino acid sequences or nucleotide sequences can be conducted, for instance, by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol.

[055] One example of an algorithm that is suitable for determining structural similarity is the BLAST algorithm, which is described in Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol.
215:403-410 (1990). Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990)). These initial neighborhood word hits act as seeds for initiating searches to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are then extended in both directions along each sequence for as far as the cumulative alignment score can be increased. Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always >0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always <0).
For amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value;
the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached.
The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 11, an expectation (E) of 10, a cutoff of 100, M=5, N=-4, and a comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 3, an expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff & Henikoff (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
89:10915).

[056] In addition to calculating percent sequence identity, the BLAST
algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g., Karlin & Altschul, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5787 (1993)). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. For example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.1, more preferably less than about 0.01, and most preferably less than about 0.001.

[057] In the comparison of two amino acid sequences, structural similarity may be referred to by percent "identity" or may be referred to by percent "similarity."
"Identity" refers to the presence of identical amino acids. "Similarity"
refers to the presence of not only identical amino acids but also the presence of conservative substitutions. A conservative substitution for an amino acid in a protein may be selected from other members of the class to which the amino acid belongs. For example, it is well-known in the art of protein biochemistry that an amino acid belonging to a grouping of amino acids having a particular size or characteristic (such as charge, hydrophobicity, or hydrophilicity) can be substituted for another amino acid without altering the activity of a protein, particularly in regions of the protein that are not directly associated with biological activity. For example, non-polar amino acids include alanine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, tryptophan, and valine. Hydrophobic amino acids include glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan. Polar amino acids include arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine, glutamic acid, histidine, lysine, serine, cysteine, tyrosine, and threonine.
The uncharged amino acids include glycine, serine, cysteine, asparagine, glutamine, tyrosine, and threonine, among others.

Mutating Polymerases
Mutating Polymerases
[091] Various types of mutagenesis are optionally used in the present disclosure, e.g., to modify polymerases to produce variants, e.g., in accordance with polymerase models and model predictions as discussed above, or using random or semi-random mutational approaches. In general, any available mutagenesis procedure can be used for making polymerase mutants. Such mutagenesis procedures optionally include selection of mutant nucleic acids and polypeptides for one or more activity of interest (e.g., reduced pyrophosphorolysis, increased turnover e.g., for a given nucleotide analog). Procedures that can be used include, but are not limited to: site-directed point mutagenesis, random point mutagenesis, in vitro or in vivo homologous recombination (DNA shuffling and combinatorial overlap PCR), mutagenesis using uracil containing templates, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, phosphorothioate-modified DNA mutagenesis, mutagenesis using gapped duplex DNA, point mismatch repair, mutagenesis using repair-deficient host strains, restriction-selection and restriction-purification, deletion mutagenesis, mutagenesis by total gene synthesis, degenerate PCR, double-strand break repair, and many others known to persons of skill. The starting polymerase for mutation can be any of those noted herein, including available polymerase mutants such as those identified e.g., in US Patent No. 8,460,910 and US Patent No. 8,623,628, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[092] Optionally, mutagenesis can be guided by known information from a naturally occurring polymerase molecule, or of a known altered or mutated polymerase (e.g., using an existing mutant polymerase), e.g., sequence, sequence comparisons, physical properties, crystal structure and/or the like as discussed above.
However, in another class of embodiments, modification can be essentially random (e.g., as in classical or "family" DNA shuffling, see, e.g., Crameri et al. (1998) "DNA
shuffling of a family of genes from diverse species accelerates directed evolution"
Nature 391:288-291).

[096] In addition, a plethora of kits are commercially available for the purification of plasmids or other relevant nucleic acids from cells, (see, e.g., EasyPrepTm and FlexiPrepTm, both from Pharmacia Biotech; StrataCleanTm, from Stratagene; and QIAprepTm from Qiagen). Any isolated and/or purified nucleic acid can be further manipulated to produce other nucleic acids, used to transfect cells, incorporated into related vectors to infect organisms for expression, and/or the like. Typical cloning vectors contain transcription and translation terminators, transcription and translation initiation sequences, and promoters useful for regulation of the expression of the particular target nucleic acid. The vectors optionally comprise generic expression cassettes containing at least one independent terminator sequence, sequences permitting replication of the cassette in eukaryotes, or prokaryotes, or both, (e.g., shuttle vectors) and selection markers for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Vectors are suitable for replication and integration in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, or both.

[098] The present disclosure also includes nucleic acids encoding the altered polymerases disclosed herein. A particular amino acid can be encoded by multiple codons, and certain translation systems (e.g., prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells) often exhibit codon bias, e.g., different organisms often prefer one of the several synonymous codons that encode the same amino acid. As such, nucleic acids presented herein are optionally "codon optimized," meaning that the nucleic acids are synthesized to include codons that are preferred by the particular translation system being employed to express the polymerase. For example, when it is desirable to express the polymerase in a bacterial cell (or even a particular strain of bacteria), the nucleic acid can be synthesized to include codons most frequently found in the genome of that bacterial cell, for efficient expression of the polymerase. A similar strategy can be employed when it is desirable to express the polymerase in a eukaryotic cell, e.g., the nucleic acid can include codons preferred by that eukaryotic cell.
[099] A variety of protein isolation and detection methods are known and can be used to isolate polymerases, e.g., from recombinant cultures of cells expressing the recombinant polymerases presented herein. A variety of protein isolation and detection methods are well known in the art, including, e.g., those set forth in R.

Methods of Use
[0100] The altered polymerases presented herein can be used in a sequencing procedure, such as a sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) technique. Briefly, SBS can be initiated by contacting the target nucleic acids with one or more nucleotides (e.g., labelled, synthetic, modified, or a combination thereof), DNA polymerase, etc. Those features where a primer is extended using the target nucleic acid as template will incorporate a labeled nucleotide that can be detected. The incorporation time used in a sequencing run can be significantly reduced using the altered polymerases described herein. Optionally, the labeled nucleotides can further include a reversible termination property that terminates further primer extension once a nucleotide has been added to a primer. For example, a nucleotide analog having a reversible terminator moiety can be added to a primer such that subsequent extension cannot occur until a deblocking agent is delivered to remove the moiety.
Thus, for embodiments that use reversible termination, a deblocking reagent can be delivered to the flow cell (before or after detection occurs). Washes can be carried out between the various delivery steps. The cycle can then be repeated n times to extend the primer by n nucleotides, thereby detecting a sequence of length n.
Exemplary SBS procedures, fluidic systems, and detection platforms that can be readily adapted for use with an array produced by the methods of the present disclosure are described, for example, in Bentley et al., Nature 456:53-59 (2008);
WO 04/018497; WO 91/06678; WO 07/123744; US Patent Nos. 7,057,026, 7,329,492, 7,211,414, 7,315,019, 7,405,281, and 8,343,746.

[0101] Other sequencing procedures that use cyclic reactions can be used, such as pyrosequencing. Pyrosequencing detects the release of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) as particular nucleotides are incorporated into a nascent nucleic acid strand (Ronaghi, et al., Analytical Biochemistry 242(1), 84-9 (1996); Ronaghi, Genome Res. 11(1), 3-11 (2001); Ronaghi et al.

6,210,891; 6,258,568 and 6,274,320). In pyrosequencing, released PPi can be detected by being converted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by ATP
sulfurylase, and the resulting ATP can be detected via luciferase-produced photons. Thus, the sequencing reaction can be monitored via a luminescence detection system.
Excitation radiation sources used for fluorescence based detection systems are not necessary for pyrosequencing procedures.

Similarly, nucleotide sequences can readily be derived for mutant versions other polymerases such as, for example, Vent polymerase, Deep Vent polymerase, Pfu polymerase, KOD polymerase, Pab polymerase, etc. Nucleic acid molecules having the required nucleotide sequence may then be constructed using standard molecular biology techniques known in the art.

A. Cloning and Expression of Polymerases
A. Cloning and Expression of Polymerases
[0120] Methods for making recombinant nucleic acids, expression, and isolation of expressed products are known and described in the art. Mutagenesis was performed on the coding region encoding a 9 N polymerase (SEQ ID NO:1) using standard site-directed mutagenesis methodology. PCR-based approaches were used to amplify mutated coding regions and add a His-tag. For each mutation made, the proper sequence of the altered coding region was confirmed by determining the sequence of the cloned DNA.
[0121] His-tagged mutant polymerase coding regions were subcloned into pET11 a vector and transformed into BL21 Star (DE3) expression cells (Invitrogen). Overnight cultures from single-picked colonies were used to inoculate expression cultures in 2.8L flasks. Cultures were grown at 37 C until 0D600 of about 0.8, protein expression was then induced with 0.2 mM IPTG and followed by 4 hours of additional growth. Cultures were centrifuged at 7000 rpm for 20 minutes. Cell pellets were stored at -20 C until purification.
[0122] Pellets were freeze-thawed and lysed with 5x w/v lysis buffer (50 mM
Tris-HC1 pH7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% BME, and 5% Glycerol) in the presence of Ready-Lyse and Omnicleave reagents (Epicentre) according to manufacturer recommendations.
The final NaCl concentration was raised to 500 mM and lysate was incubated on ice for 5 minutes. Following centrifugation, the supernatant was incubated at 80 C
for about 70 minutes. All further purification was performed at 4 C. Supernatant was iced for 30min before being centrifuged and purified using 5mL Ni Sepharose HP
columns (GE). Columns were pre-equilibrated with Buffer A (50 mM Tris-HC1 pH
7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 5% Glycerol, 500 mM NaCl, and 20 mM Imidazole). The column was eluted using a 75 mL gradient from 20 to 500mM imidazole. Peak fractions were pooled and diluted with 10% glycerol to match the conductivity of SP Buffer A (50 mM Tris-HC1 pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 5% Glycerol) and loaded onto 5 mL SP Sepharose columns (GE). The column was eluted using a 100 mL gradient from 150 to 1000 mM NaCl. Peak fractions were pooled, dialyzed into storage buffer (10 mM Tris-HC1 pH 7.5, 300 mM KCL, 0.1 mM EDTA, and 50% Glycerol) and stored at -20 C.

B. Error Rate and Phasing Analysis
[0123] Sequencing experiments were used to compare error rates and phasing values.
Unless indicated otherwise, the experiments were carried out on a MiniSeqTM
system (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, Calif), according to manufacturer instructions.
For example, for each polymerase, a separate incorporation mix (IN/TX) was prepared and used in a short run (35 cycles in read 1) or long run (227 cycle run of 151 in read 1 and 76 in read 2). Standard MiniSeq Mid Output Reagent Cartridge formulations were used, with the standard polymerase substituted with the polymerase being tested, at a concentration of 90 pg/mL. The time for incubation of IMX on the flowcell varied as noted in the Examples herein. The DNA library used was made following the standard TruSeqTm Nano protocol (Illumina, Inc.), with bp target insert size, using E. coli genomic DNA; PhiX DNA (I1lumina, Inc) was added to resulting library in ¨1:10 molar ratio. Illumina RTA Software was used to evaluate error rate on both genomes as well as phasing levels.

The DNA library used was made following the standard TruSeqTm Nano protocol (Illumina, Inc.), with bp target insert size, using E. coli genomic DNA; PhiX DNA (I1lumina, Inc) was added to resulting library in ¨1:10 molar ratio. Illumina RTA Software was used to evaluate error rate on both genomes as well as phasing levels.
Example 2 Sequencing Performance of Altered Polymerases
[0124] A number of altered polymerases were identified that had error rates and phasing levels in a short run under a short incorporation time that were not substantially greater than a control polymerase used in a short run under a standard incorporation time. Table 2 below compares sequencing performance of the altered polymerases listed in Table 1 at 14 sec incorporation time relative to a control polymerase represented by Pol 812 (SEQ ID NO:8). The quality metrics used to evaluate the altered polymerases were the phasing rates of read 1 ("R1 Phasing") and cumulative error rates of E. coli ("E. coli Error") and bacteriophage PhiX ("PhiX Error") sequencing controls. The metrics were normalized to corresponding Pol 812 phasing and error rates at the standard (46 sec) incorporation time ("812 STD").
For example, the R1 phasing rate of Pol 812 at the short incorporation time ("812 Fast") is 6 fold higher than its R1 phasing at the standard incorporation time, whereas the cumulative E. coli and PhiX error rates are 12.5 and 6.4 fold higher, respectively. Similarly, the R1 phasing rate of Pol 963 (SEQ ID NO:9) at the short incorporation time is 5.9 fold higher than the R1 phasing of Pol 812 at the standard incorporation time, whereas the cumulative E. coli and PhiX error rates of Pol are 4.6 and 3.6 fold higher, respectively.

Example 3 Activity of Altered Polymerases under Long Run Conditions
[0130] Selected altered polymerases identified in Example 2 were evaluated using different run lengths. Cumulative PhiX error rates for each of the altered polymerases at standard incorporation times (46 sec) were compared to phasing and cumulative error rates at short incorporation times (22 sec) during long sequencing runs (250 cycles in read 1 followed by 250 cycles in read 2, for a total of 500 cycles).
The longer run conditions result in more sequence information (i.e., the identity of more nucleotides is determined) per run and are similar to the conditions often used in sequencing platforms, for instance when sequencing a whole genome. The results are shown in FIG. 4.
